Caspian Bianchi~•~It was exactly a week after I visited Larissa. I had missed seeing her already and I felt the urge to, but there was something I needed to take care of first. I was going to visit her fiancé.I stepped out of my vehicle and gave the keys to the valet, then I entered the club through the back door. It was my luck that Alexander decided to visit my club today.“Good evening, boss.” The two men by the door bowed respectfully as I walked past them. Larissa would have my head for daring to meet with the man she was to marry, but I didn’t care. I was doing it for her good, and eventually mine. The only way to convince her to be with me was to get rid of Alexander. Well, I wasn’t going to kill him. I just needed to remove him from her life.I walked up the stairs that led to the VIP area. It was basically a gentlemen’s area where all sorts of things took place. Women usually stripped for men and if they wanted extra servicing, they could have whatever women they wanted ho
Larissa Maynard~•~I was quite annoyed even if I had been the one to blow him off first. But then again, we didn’t have plans then. How could he forget that I was supposed to spend the night at his place? And couldn’t he just come home?I wasn’t trying to be a controlling girlfriend but blowing me off to go a club with his friends didn’t sound appealing to any woman.I sighed as I looked around his house, wondering if I should just go back home. I wasn’t in the mood to see him anyway. I’d been thinking a lot and I was considering a break up with him. It wasn’t because I was still in love with Caspian or anything as ridiculous. It was because if I cheated on him, I didn’t like him enough and I would be punishing the poor man by getting married to him when I didn’t even love him.Closing my eyes briefly, I sat on the couch, not in the mood to sleep yet. I had a new design to work on. I didn’t have the time to think about my love life. It was a hassle at this point in my life.The doorb
Larissa Maynard~•~Caspian Bianchi had successfully overworked my brain cells. I spent most of the weekend thinking about what he meant when he said getting rid of Alexander, what he was up to when he vowed that I was never going to marry the man, and what was going through his brain when he approached my fiancé and told him to break up with me.The worst part was that Alexander didn’t act like anything weird happened. It made me wonder if Caspian had just been messing me with or if he really went to see the guy.I needed to talk to him fast before things got more out of control. I hated it when things came as a surprise to me. I loved planning out every part of my life and Caspian was ruining those plans one after the other. It annoyed me greatly that even when I tried not to, all I could think about was him. Fuck him.Someone knocked on the door to my office, bringing me out of my thoughts, and I looked up as Ava walked in. She dropped a file in front of me.“What is this?” I asked
Larissa Maynard ~•~As soon as I rounded up my work on Thursday, I went downstairs to see Caspian leaning against his car with his arms folded. He was dressed in a white undershirt, dark jeans, and a thin wooly jacket. He also had black sunglasses on, giving off an approachable vibe.I watched as girls eyed him like a piece of meat as they walked by and for some reason, it made me uncomfortable. I snickered as I walked toward him. “You could have just given me the address.”He pushed away from the car and flashed me a blinding smile. “You would have gotten lost. You’re bad at taking directions.”My cheeks heated up at the fact that he remembered that detail about me. “I also have a GPS, Caspian.”He rolled his eyes and pulled open the door to the passenger’s seat. “Get in.”I wiggled my car keys in his face. “I can just drive behind you.”“Where’s the fun in that? Get in, Larissa. People are beginning to stare at us.”I didn’t waste time getting in and I heard him laugh as closed the
Larissa Maynard~•~Rolling my eyes, I was thankful when the car finally rolled to a stop. Immediately after it did, I jumped out of the car. Staying in an enclosed space with Caspian was messing with my head. It was not only in the hot and bothered way but in the annoying way.I had not properly landed before someone crashed into me and before I had the time to process that, I was up in the air, spinning around. I let out a yelp at the sudden movement, wondering who I knew enough to hug me like that. Even Caspian didn’t have that right.“I can’t believe Caspian brought you here, Larissa. I never thought I’d see you again.”As I went back on my feet, I realized that the voice sounded oddly familiar. I pulled back, staring at the boy in front of me, my mouth falling open when I realized that it was Antonio, the scrawny little thirteen-year-old I’d known five years ago. “Fuck, look how well you’ve grown.”I was amazed. It was not like I never expected him to grow but he was literally a
Larissa Maynard ~•~I told him yes.A part of me was still curious about Caspian and I wanted to see what his room looked like. Since I was already in his home, I might as well take a look.Caspian was happy with my answer and there was a welcomed silence as we walked up the stairs to his room. On the way, Caspian revealed that there was an elevator and I glared at him for making me walk so many flights of stairs when I could just take the elevator.“Thanks for the information.” My words were filled with sarcasm but Caspian barely cared as we came to a stop in front of a black door. The door was password protected and I stared at him for an explanation. I’d seen that a lot of people lived in the house with him but were they untrustworthy? “I hate when people go in my room.” He revealed.“You’re bringing me to your room.”Caspian chuckled, typing in the pin; 2509. Most people used their birthdays as pins, but his birthday was in October, shortly after we met for the first time. I str
Caspian Bianchi~•~I reveled in Larissa’s shocked expression although I didn’t understand why she was taken aback when she knew I’d use any excuse to kiss her. I didn’t care that she was still with that asshole or that their parents were planning their wedding already. I knew that she belonged to me. I just needed more time to show her that.“Why did you do that?” There was a faint blush on her cheeks. She tried to act like she didn’t want me anymore but I knew as much as she did that she wasn’t fully over me. We had gone through a lot together and had promised to spend the rest of our lives together. We loved each other to the point that people thought we were obsessed with each other and I really was obsessed with her. Everything was going well until something came up and I had to break up with her abruptly. I’d expected her to hate me, but since she didn’t, I knew I could win her back.I was being selfish by coming back into her life but I’d always been a selfish man.“Do what?” I
Larissa Maynard FLASHBACK - FIVE YEARS AGO~•~“Has your boyfriend not called you yet?” My roommate, Madeline, questioned when she saw me staring at my phone for the umpteenth time that afternoon.I shook my head, no. Caspian and I were supposed to go on a date last night, but he never showed up. For a while, I wondered if he had forgotten he was meant to pick me up and I went to the restaurant myself but he hadn’t checked in the reservation. Against all odds, I decided to wait for him but there was no point since he never came last night.At first, I was mad at him. Then, I got worried because Caspian was not the kind of guy to stand me up and not tell me beforehand. I left a ton of messages but none of them were opened.I was going to wait a few more hours. If I didn’t get a reply, I was going to go to his place. We had been dating for two years since my freshman year. He’d been a junior at the time and graduated some months ago, but we were still able to see each other regularly.
